The vessel, part of the Maersk fleet, carried out bunkering work and a crew change during its stay in the Gran Canarian capital. The ship is currently on a voyage connecting Singapore to the London Gateway Port in the United Kingdom.
With a length of 350 meters and a beam of 56 meters, the ship features two tanks with a capacity for 16,000 cubic meters of methanol. This fuel, produced by combining green hydrogen and carbon dioxide, allows the ship to reach a range of up to 23,000 nautical miles.
The design of the Barcelona stands out for its forward-positioned superstructure, placing the bridge and funnels at the stern to optimize cargo and navigation efficiency. In addition to its primary system, the ship loaded 300 tons of traditional fuel oil during its stop at La Luz.
This unit, which entered service in early 2026, has a capacity to transport 17,480 TEU containers. The shipping company includes these vessels in its strategy to reach the goal of net-zero emissions by 2040.
